I’ve been a patient of Penny Hills since 2009 and quite honestly wouldn’t go to anyone else with my gynae / menopausal issues. Penny’s very caring and puts your mind at ease as soon as you enter the examination room. She has a friendly manner and takes time to listen to every concern. Penny is a perfect example of a how a health care professional should treat their patient. Many thanks.

At the pre op appointment, the atmosphere was pleasant, helpful and reassuring. The options for treatment were clearly explained. The post op visit was very encouraging. Dr Hill has great empathy for her patients. At the 6 week post op Dr Hill was very thorough while answering questions with great patience. To summarise , exceptional care throughout. I'm very grateful to Dr Hill for her surgical skills, her personal care of her patients is second to none.
